Church of Eligos[]
Churches devoted to Eligos resemble small keeps, with heraldry of the local nobles draped from the walls. There they study history, tactics, and many forms of combat. As the lance is Eligos' favored weapon, a church favorite is teaching mounted combat. They often hold bi-yearly jousting competitions, awarding the winner with medals and often higher rankings among the church.
